I applied for a job that I'm completely qualified for, and the recruiter emailed me soon after with interview times for the next day. I replied, asking to push it back one day due to my crazy work schedule. Woke up to a rejection email! Seriously, is my request to reschedule one day a valid dealbreaker?

There are over 100 applicants for every job posting I come across that has been open for more tha 24 hours. There simply isn't the need for a recruiter to waste their time waiting a day for one single applicant. Fact of the matter is that they will still end up with however many good candidates to bring to the hiring manager as is needed, and won't have any concerns that those candidates will show similar inflexiblility when trying to schedule an interview with said hiring manager.

Job seekers are proverbial fish in a barrel at the moment.

Through no fault of my own, I was included in the latest batch of roughly 3k people who have been RIF'ed. Im not the best person to ask for an unbiased opinion.

In this market, anything is a dealbreaker. Don't take it personally and keep looking. It’s brutal.

That is wild. One day is nothing. If they dropped you for that, it probably saved you from a workplace with zero flexibility. A decent recruiter would work around a normal schedule without turning it into a drama.

Should I be applying for product analyst roles? Should I apply for strategy consulting? Could I go straight for prod mgmt roles?

Can anyone tell me how many rounds of interview are there in

I had only 1 round as of now, it was with the Process head VP along with the person I will be reporting (if got selected)

It's been almost 4 days since I had that interview; however, no feedback has been shared with me.

I can see that my profile/application is under review for basic requirements.

Should I consider my profile as reject?

Any thoughts/guidance would be highly appreciated.

Thank you
